Right? Dude sends a crowd of rowdies into the Capitol building to hang the vice president for not lying but, self-pardoning is too far

Yeah, let's just "throw Trump in jail"! Duh! Why didn't anybody else think of that?! You're so smart and enlightened! Tell me, who should Americans vote for that would satisfy your gargantuan intelligence? Keep in mind that it's either Harris or Trump (anyone else is a vote for Trump). Use your massive intellect to give us the solution so our frail minds don't support genocide!

That was a lot of words that, in no way, answered my question.

I was literally just thinking today, "I wonder where I could get some pallets..." I guess the universe has spoken

This exposé is a bit suspect, or at least this part is which makes me question the integrity as a whole:

He was forced to walk 21 miles daily, one way, to his job

Average human walks 3mph. This dude apparently never sleeps.

The whole thing reads like a corporate "uNioNS BaD" article

Yep, everybody in the US is just like this! Spot on broad generalization!

Also "en masse" (you must be American if you don't know that because ALL Americans are stupid too, right?)

Also built in TOTP / 2fa is pretty great.

I can't wrap my head around how this is a good idea. Isn't the idea of mfa to protect against password theft? If your second factor is stored with your password, how does that help anything? Honest question, I see this everywhere but can't figure out why it's acceptable with security-minded folks

So, we're destined to make new words for colors because all the color words we have now are taboo?

Blackmail was used in England and Scotland to describe money paid by tenant farmers to a chieftan: https://www.history.com/news/where-did-the-word-blackmail-come-from

Black sheep literally comes from black sheep. That one is really obvious... https://www.etymonline.com/word/black%20sheep

Black market was more associated with anarchists that used black as their color than actual black people. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_market

The goal here shouldn't be changing peoples' view on the concepts of white/black. We need to stop people from using those words to describe people. People (outside rare cases) are not BLACK or WHITE or YELLOW or RED, or.... how about we use actual people names for people?

White and black as colors and concepts are too important to have to tippy-toe around. If something is black, I should be able to say so without getting internet-spanked. Etymology means something regardless of what anybody thinks. You can't just make something racist because it has a color word in it.

Can everybody just stop looking for things to be mad about for a hot minute?

The only way I see that is a dependency update is if you're versioning your node_modules or which is generally a no-no
